[he didn't think he'd be so lucky to have a foster kid so soon into the program. he's got a good income, and maybe he hasn't found the girl of his dreams to settle down with, but he knows he can provide for a kid who needs it.

[they said it would take some adjusting. lance is willing to handle that. he's got keith in the car with him, on their way home from the office where they've finally met.]

So, your room is gonna be huge. You've got a big window, and plenty of book shelves to put stuff on.

[To be honest, some adjusting was putting it lightly. Keith had been in and out of foster homes for a bit now and it's become kind of disheartening for a kid to be put into home after home after home. Some were better than other and some were downright awful and those kinds of things really stick to a kid his age.

After awhile, it's hard to not question whether someone will actually keep him. To even marginally like how he is long enough to consider it.

He had been sitting in the seat quietly with his bag of stuff in his arms. It isn't a lot of things. He didn't have a lot and it wasn't too bad with all the moving in and out. Keith shrinks into his chair when Lance speaks to him. He doesn't say anything back.]
